Mini Skirt with Chunky Sweater Inspired By Grace per Wear
Once again, I am inspired by one of my blogging friends to put together some items from my closet in a new way. When I walked out the door with this on, my husband was very complimentary: I guess now I need to wear it out for real and not just blog pictures. You can stop by Grace’s blog here to see my inspiration look! I don’t wear my long socks very often to where you can see them, but I really like how Grace’s socks looked, so I copied that part of her outfit too. It’s hard to see in this particular picture, but the boots are black while…

Casual Holiday Looks with the Ageless Style – In Memory of Mimi
It’s time for the Ageless Style Link Up and today is all about Casual Christmas Looks. I have been sharing a lot of Christmas outfit inspiration these past couple of weeks, so I had to be creative today to come up with something different! My mother-in-law passed away last month just 2 weeks shy of her 81st birthday and I wanted to dedicate this blog post to her. Mimi lived with us the past 6 years after she took care of her aging mom for about 8 years. She was an enthusiastic Alabama football fan (all of her clothes were Alabama collegiate fan wear), a gardener (she is the one…

Fun Shoes on a Budget
Today, I am excited to work with Drew Shoe Corp and share with you their new site where you can shop for shoes on a budget: onlineshoedeals.com. Shoes range from $12.77 to $79.99. These shoes are discontinued styles from the different brands owned by Drew Shoe Corp and you may have heard of some of them like Walking Cradles, Ros Hommerson (which was formerly known as Walking Cradles), Bellini and Foot Saver. Because these styles are discontinued you cannot return or exchange them, but the Shoe Finder filters really help you in making a selection. By adding your size and width to the filter, you will easily be able to…

3 Christmas Outfits with Burgundy
I like to wear something different but festive every year, so this year, I decided to shop my closet for some Christmas inspiration using burgundy. I came up with 3 very different outfits. More than likely I will wear the one with the tulle skirt to church either Christmas Eve or Christmas day. If you would like more burgundy inspiration especially if you wonder what colors you can pair it with, stop by Jodie’s blog post. She shared some great ideas last month! Burgundy Tunic This floral burgundy tunic is one of the older pieces in my closet. I don’t wear it very often, but I like the length and…

More Holiday Outfit Inspiration
I am having so much fun shopping my closet and coming up with outfits that are festive that I decided to share a few more daily outfits today. These were worn in the past 2 weeks. I thrifted this fun dress a couple of years ago and I had forgotten about it until I switched out the rest of my dresses for winter. It’s fun and comfortable and because the belt didn’t come with it, I use mine with it. I love the contrast with this white one from Amazon and my thrifted boots. As an aside, nothing keeps you humble as your child asking you why you have so…

My Beach Outfits: A Warm Thanksgiving
Most years, there is a need for layers at the beach, at least early mornings and for a cold day or two. Well, this year, I packed a variety of tees, sweatshirts, joggers and shorts and even though I expected a mild week, it was definitely warmer than I had planned. It was great for enjoying the outdoors, but I sure wore my shorts and tees much more than anything else. Here is a recap of what I wore! Thrifted almost head to toe At first, I didn’t realize that my outfit was all thrifted apart from my shoes! This denim skort was really fun to wear as you wouldn’t…

Ruby Falls, TN
Many friends were surprised that even though we have lived in the Atlanta for more than 20 years, this fall was the first time that we visited Ruby Falls Ruby Falls is located in Chattanooga, TN and is about 1 hour and half from our house. We have gone many times to Chattanooga for day trips and overnight trips, but we had never visited the falls. We have visited other caves and caverns in the past, and this was the most expensive one to date. We visited the Tuskaleechee Caverns, TN and I share them here, and I share caves we visited in the Republic of Georgia here. What makes…

Runner’s Spotlight: Joseph
Today’s runner’s Spotlight is a different format than my usual as I had my son share a 8th grade writing piece he wrote for class. I really enjoyed reading and learning about his thoughts about his 2 years running in Cross Country. So without further ado, here is Joseph’s story! “Ouch!” I cried in pain. “Ice it,” my mother instructed me. I grabbed an ice pack out of the freezer and put it on my heel. “It feels like a thousand bullet ants bit me,” I explained. The next few days, I ran and then had extreme pain in my heel. Stretching it didn’t help. I put on heel compression…
